Abstract
Semiconductor manufacturers continue to integrate functionality into Systems on a chip. Focused target in the automotive area for today are system basis chips. In this context system basis chips are all surrounding components for embedded Controllers, such as: Transceivers, Watch-Dogs, Voltage-Regulators, Sensor-Interfaces, Switches and Diagnosis functions. Because of the lack of a standard, implementations differ and acceptance is missing in the development community. Also the potential evolution of the system CPU+SBC1 does not happen, because no common target does exist. Therefore major car manufacturers are going to introduce a new standard: CARbridge.
